Director of DevOps – Hubexo

Hubexo, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom

Hubexo provides cutting-edge data, insights, and software solutions to the global construction industry. We specialise in project information, eTendering, product information, market intelligence, and specification. We help the world build better by delivering technology that shapes the places where people live, work, and play.

We’re hiring a Director of DevOps to lead our global AWS cloud strategy and the distributed team of Cloud Engineers that powers it. You’ll define the roadmap, set the standards, and build the DevOps capability that underpins Hubexo’s future growth. This is a senior, hands‑on leadership role at the heart of our transformation — driving performance, reliability, security, and cost optimisation across our cloud platforms.

You’ll take ownership of our cloud infrastructure strategy, translating business vision into scalable, secure, and cost‑efficient solutions. You’ll lead and mentor Cloud Engineers worldwide, building a culture of excellence and continuous improvement. You’ll embed FinOps practices that ensure transparency and control over AWS spend, work with developers to deliver efficient, developer‑first infrastructure using EKS, ECS, and Docker, and advance automation through CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and CloudFormation. Security and compliance will be non‑negotiable — you’ll own IAM, encryption, and governance frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIST while implementing resilient, high‑availability architectures and incident‑management strategies that minimise downtime. You’ll foster collaboration across Technology Delivery, Architecture, Finance, and Security to ensure alignment and impact.

You’re a proven leader in DevOps and Cloud Engineering with deep AWS expertise and a track record of shaping strategy, building high‑performing teams, and delivering results. You’ll bring experience managing complex AWS estates, implementing CI/CD pipelines, and automating infrastructure at scale. You’ll combine hands‑on technical capability with strategic influence — balancing speed and security, innovation and governance. Certifications such as AWS DevOps Engineer or Solutions Architect Professional are welcome but not essential.

At Hubexo, we’re not here to coast — we’re here to challenge, grow, and build better. You’ll have the mandate, budget, and authority to design a global DevOps function from the ground up, supported by a leadership team that values innovation and ownership. In return, you’ll get the space to dream big, lead with purpose, and make an impact that lasts.
